The AirTAC Airtac 3V1 Solenoid Valve 3V1M5F4F is a genuine 3-port 2-position (3/2) solenoid valve with M5 ports. It either feeds its outlet or vents it to exhaust, which is what makes it the valve for single-acting cylinders, on/off air blow, clamping, vacuum switching and pilot duty.
Where panel depth is the constraint, four 3V1 3/2 valves on one M5 manifold do the work of four separate bodies in a fraction of the space. Each valve is direct acting with a single solenoid and spring return, feeding or venting a single line - exactly what a small clamp, a blow jet or a pilot stage needs. The DC12V coils take only 2.5 W each and plug into DIN sockets.
Keep the supply air filtered to 40 um or finer; the valve needs no lubrication. As with all 3V1 models, the initial state is fixed at the factory rather than selectable - verify it on the datasheet, then send us an RFQ for genuine AirTAC supply.

A 3/2 valve has three ports — supply, outlet and exhaust — and two states. It either feeds the outlet or vents it to exhaust, and that is the whole job.
That makes it the right valve for a single-acting (spring-return) cylinder, on/off air blow, a clamp, switching a vacuum generator or suction cup, and piloting a larger valve.
It cannot run a double-acting cylinder. A double-acting cylinder needs air alternately on two sides, which takes a 5-port valve — the AirTAC 4V series.
Four valves clamp four workpieces in a small stamping jig, each M5 outlet feeding a compact spring-return clamp cylinder.
A mobile HVAC service cart pulses test air through fittings from the 4-station block, the M5 ports matching its small hose barbs.
Engineers tune spray-nozzle pulse timing on a packaging line, switching individual air jets in sequence from one compact DC12V manifold.
Five decisions define the right 3V1 order: port (this code is fixed M5; thread variants PT, G and NPT belong to the 1/8" 06 port), coil voltage, entry style, valve-versus-manifold count, and initial state. Because no Cv is published for 3V1, treat it as a low-flow, low-power choice and confirm marginal duties with us before committing.
If the duty needs more air than M5 can pass, the natural ladder is 3V2 (1/8" and 1/4", Cv 0.18-0.19, NC or NO selectable, vacuum rated) or 3V3 (1/4", Cv 0.62), while 3V2M trades flow for the densest manifold layout in the range. A double-acting cylinder is outside this 3-port valve's job - route that requirement to the AirTAC 4V series.
Confirm before you order
It operates at 0-0.8 MPa (0-114 psi), handles -20 to 70 C media and is sealed to IP65 (DIN 40050). Coil power varies with voltage: AC220V 4.5 VA, AC110V 4.5 VA, AC24V 5.0 VA, DC24V 3.0 W, DC12V 2.5 W; this model's DC12V coils draw 2.5 W. Supply air must pass a 40 um or finer element. No flow coefficient is published for 3V1, so verify flow-critical duties with us.
This SKU uses DIN plug entry - the coil unplugs from its socket, which makes coil swaps inside a manifold block quick. A flying-lead (lead-out wire) version of the same valve exists in the 3V1 family when pre-wired tails are preferred, and both entries meet IP65 when properly mated. If you also need a different coil voltage, state it in your RFQ; every voltage has its own catalogue power rating.
